Cheap art will be just that. The true value lies in commitment and hard work. This is just a tool and without a creative mind operating it the results will hold no magic. Did photography kill painting? I think both are doing and developing rather well.

Take a look at the future with the best submissions of CGTrader Awards’ Sci-fi category.

Online marketplace CGTrader is running the CGTrader Awards: a worldwide art contest with prizes of over $50,000 in value. Since the CGTrader Awards: Best 3D art around the web is coming to an end, after having received about 2500 submissions in total, CGTrader chose the best artworks – the total leaders for each category. Sci – fi in its definition is the genre of speculating about the possible future and the outcomes of the scientific and technological evolution. And what better way to visualize the future than by seeing it through the eyes of the artists? Take a look at what future will be like according to the artists behind the best submissions of CGTrader Awards’ Sci-fi category.

Shortly about the Awards

There are six categories that users can submit up to five different rendered 3D images to: Character, Cartoon, Environment/Scene, Sci-fi, Fantasy and Photorealism. Each artwork can be submitted only once to one category.

The prizes include licences (Cinema 4D, Modo, 3D-Coat and KeyShot), plugins and other tools, online rendering credits and even a 3D printing pen. What is more, each category has prizes of over $4,000.

The deadline is on 1st of December 2017, so there is still a little time to join.
